Chapter 1861: Chapter 1706: Escape Game 58

The police didn’t ask anyone nearby why the female player died here, they simply cleaned up the body and left.

Miao Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu discussed and decided to find a place to stay first. They couldn’t camp out for three days straight; once they had a place to stay, they’d discuss the next steps.

Miao Shuangshuang searched the area and found two hotels. One hotel had a buffet restaurant on the first floor, and accommodations on the second. The surroundings were nice, adjacent to a small park.

However, although this hotel had a good environment, access between floors was only by elevator, and the safety doors were locked, posing a security risk, so they couldn’t stay there.

The other hotel was smaller, without an elevator. It only had narrow stairs and the rooms were shabby with wires crisscrossing all over, making it unsafe.

The three of them decided to keep looking, planning to find a hotel before it got dark, since they didn’t know what else to do in the game.

During their hotel search, they faced numerous dangers. Miao Shuangshuang avoided two runaway cars charging onto the sidewalk, while Chi Qing dodged a fallen boulevard tree.

Lin Yu, passing by a building, avoided a flowerpot that fell from an unknown location and a steel pipe that flew off a truck, nearly skewering the three of them like skewers.

As night fell, after an overly thrilling search, they finally found a suitable inn. It was in a decent location and relatively safe front and back.

Most importantly, they could stay on the first floor, close to the entrance, making it easy to exit quickly in case of an emergency. It was the best of the twenty+ inns they’d seen today.

The price was a bit steep, but the game was generous with funds; each of their phones had 300,000 yuan of game money, allowing them to spend freely.

Miao Shuangshuang paid directly by scanning a code, renting a luxurious suite with three rooms—it was enough for Miao Shuangshuang, Lin Yu, and Chi Qing, along with a very spacious living area.

As she paid, Miao Shuangshuang noticed a man and woman beside her also scanning to pay for a first-floor room.

These two seemed familiar to Miao Shuangshuang, likely players too. Their condition wasn’t good—they looked pale, resembling startled birds.

Given her experiences thus far, these two had clearly been in plenty of danger, yet Miao Shuangshuang chose not to dwell on them further.

The inn’s internet was lagging, and the payment wasn’t going through; without cash, Miao Shuangshuang had to wait in the lobby for the transaction to go through.

Chi Qing, bored with waiting, noticed a small supermarket next to the inn and immediately said to Miao Shuangshuang, "Sister Shuangshuang, I want to buy something at the supermarket next door."

Miao Shuangshuang glanced at the supermarket and didn’t object, instead telling Lin Yu, "Go with him, it’s safer to look out for each other than going alone."

Lin Yu nodded in agreement and left with Chi Qing for the supermarket, while Miao Shuangshuang casually turned around, settling onto the sofa to wait for payment confirmation.

Just as Miao Shuangshuang was about to sit, she suddenly heard a creaking sound above—a sound she knew well, indicating something was about to snap.

Upon hearing it, Miao Shuangshuang promptly retreated, quickly leaving the sofa area, and moments later, the vent above the sofa fell, crashing onto it.

Although a normal falling vent might cause injury, in this game, Miao Shuangshuang was sure it would have killed her.

After she dodged the vent, the pending room payment finally went through.

The first thing Miao Shuangshuang did with her room card was check for any vents in the accommodation.

Miao Shuangshuang decided that there would be no vents in the rooms where they slept; if every room had one, she would remove them directly to prevent any surprises.

While Miao Shuangshuang was dismantling the room’s vent, Lin Yu and Chi Qing returned with bags full of items from the supermarket.

Seeing them come back, Miao Shuangshuang casually asked, "Did you encounter any dangers while shopping?"

Chi Qing, while unloading items onto the table, replied, "Our luck was pretty good; aside from a shelf collapsing, there were no dangers."

The table was now filled with items Lin Yu and Chi Qing had dumped there—Miao Shuangshuang glanced over, finding it jam-packed with food.

There were chicken feet, legs, wings, packed roast duck, roast chicken, spiced beef, pig trotters, elbows, sausages—things like beef tendons, spicy strips, sunflower seeds, peanuts, a variety of snacks.

Miao Shuangshuang clicked her tongue, "Did you empty out the supermarket’s food stock? Can you finish all this food?"

Ripping open a bag of roast duck, Chi Qing started pulling pieces out and said, "The risk of eating in a restaurant is too high, really dangerous.

I thought we’d solve the three daily meals at the inn. I didn’t know what to choose, so I bought everything edible.

Even if we can’t eat out, we shouldn’t be too hard on ourselves. Besides, the game’s funds are ample; since we can’t take it out, let’s spend it as much as possible."

As he talked, Chi Qing set opened packages of prepared dishes onto disposable trays he’d brought, placing them one by one on the table.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu made three bowls of instant noodles using hot water from the water dispenser, also prepping three self-heating rice boxes and small hot pots—thanks to their efforts, dinner was quite abundant.

Despite their caution, Chi Qing accidentally swallowed a piece of pig bone, which got stuck in his throat during dinner.

At that moment, Miao Shuangshuang and Lin Yu were busy fishing out vermicelli from the hot pot, when they noticed Chi Qing suddenly clutching his throat frantically, his face turning bright red.

Lin Yu, closest to Chi Qing, immediately stood up and applied the Heimlich maneuver to expel the obstruction from his throat.

Unfortunately, despite the effort, Chi Qing showed no signs of spitting it out, instead, his face started turning purplish, indicating serious trouble.

Miao Shuangshuang suspected some force was keeping Chi Qing from expelling the bone; she placed her hand against his throat, saying, "Relax a bit and I’ll try to use Inner Strength to force it out."

Miao Shuangshuang didn’t know if it would work—her Inner Strength skills were newly cultivated and not yet refined. Initially, she feared harming Chi Qing’s throat, so she hesitated to use it.
